I know what you mean re: being glad its CD1- you wish it wasn't, but you weren't really expecting success anyway, so why not just get the next one started.

Awesome x-mas gifts, but I know what you mean re: largesse. My inlaws are the same way and they don't really have the money to spend. I wish they'd go easy and put it toward their retirement, which I know is underfunded.

You know you've crossed over into a new stage of infertility when you are actually happy that your period started. I'm glad you will at least get your drugs covered. That's a pretty hefty chunk of expense.

Here's to a new year, kid. Good luck and may this cycle be THE ONE. :-)

I know what you mean about being ready for CD1. Each time I would try something new, I was happy to be moving on to something that may work. Good to hear about the insurance - EVERY little bit helps! Meds are so crazy expensive!
